How it feels
A methodical, turn-based strategy game where you outmaneuver your opponent on a grid, feeling like a Viking-era tactical duel.

What players say
Players praise the game's faithful adaptation of historical tafl and its surprisingly deep tactics, but nearly everyone reports that online is dead and there is no AI opponent, leaving pass-and-play as the only viable way to play. Several also complain about the required third-party Playfab account and missing features like a move log.
